When Sehun was a child , his mother often called him "darling" and put a kiss on his forehead before he went to bed. Sehun liked the sound of that word, and the soft kiss too, because it gave him such a warm and cozy feeling. But after he decided to become a trainee of SM Entertainment, he hardly ever had a chance to come home; therefore, it had been ages since the last time someone called him like that.

Sehun never told anyone about it. He knew that all of the trainees had to suffer from the same struggle, especially the overseas ones, and he didn't want to be a burden.

But he was still a teenager, and it was always so hard for a teenager to control his feelings completely. Thus, sometimes he did show out his loneliness through his eyes. He thought that no one noticed it since he tried to act normally in front of people all the time, but there was someone who did.

Someone who cared enough to know how much he longed for the sound of the word "darling" gliding through his ears, even just once.

Therefore, on one cold winter morning, this someone softly sat down on the edge of Sehun's bed, lowered closer to him, as close as his words could reach him most clearly.

And right when Sehun opened his eyes a little bit, he smiled, gently and warmly and so so Luhan.

And he whispered,

"Good morning, darling."
